NWACC Utilizes Workday to Streamline the Student Experience

To elevate student success, NWACC is moving most of the college's student-related systems to Workday - a simple, cloud-based mobile-friendly information system. This initiative is referred to as the Workday Student project  where many of the tasks (including applying to NWACC and registering for classes) that students, faculty and staff perform on a regular basis will be available at any time, from anywhere, and in one place – Workday.  

Students, faculty and staff can view the information below to understand what can be accomplished in Workday Student and how it’ll be different than NWACC’s previous systems.
